Regents Bank: A Most Trusted Brand

Regents Bank Named One of San Diego’s Most Trusted Brands

Regents Bank motto is “here today and here tomorrow.” Founded in 2001 by local banking professionals, Regents Bank attributes its customer trust to its steadfastness and reliability.

The bank was named one of San Diego’s most trusted brands in 2012 by SD METRO magazine.

During periods of economic difficulty, while many banks in the county were sold and changed their brand name, Regents Bank remained. Earlier this year, in a deal with Grandpoint Capital Inc., Regents Bank was put in a stronger financial position, making it possible for the bank to provide customers with access to larger loan accommodations, while keeping its brand name and business model.

Grandpoint Bank ended 2011 with total assets of $855 million, up $492 million from 2010. Regents Bank offices can be found in La Jolla, San Diego, El Cajon, Carlsbad and one office in Vancouver, Wash.

An impending merger with California Community Bank, which is expected to take place in the third quarter of this year, will give Regents Bank customers more banking location options.

Opened in 2003, the California Community Bank’s four office locations in the Encinitas, Vista and Miramar areas, will all be renamed with the Regents Bank brand name. Regents Bank’s recent business decisions have allowed it to continue as an important part of San Diego’s continued economic recovery.

Regents Bank takes pride in its banking relationships — knowing many customers by name, and a commitment to the community, including relationships with its entrepreneurial clients, because it too, was started in the spirit of entrepreneurship. The bank specializes in serving small to mid-size businesses. Regents Bank celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, and looks to the future with great anticipation.

We Want Your Opinions on San Diego’s Big Issues
In the coming months, Probosky Research (one of California’s leading opinion research firms) will continue its partnership with SD METRO to survey San Diego residents about topics of interest to our readers. We’d like to throw open the door for suggestions for topics. What do you want to know? What do you think you know, but aren’t sure? What are you certain you know, but want to prove it beyond doubt? Ideally, we’d like to see questions that have to do with public policy.
Some areas may include Mayor Filner’s first 100 days job performance, should the city be responsible for economic growth and the creation of new jobs, how important are infrastructure improvements to our daily lives (streets and bridges, etc.), how important is water independence, how satisfied are residents with public transit or how do city residents value Balboa Park and other open spaces? Do you believe the City Council should revive the Plaza de Panama plan for Balboa Park?
